Liftgate - Chevrolet 2004 Venture Owner's Manual

Liftgate

To unlock or lock the liftgate from the outside, use the
remote keyless entry transmitter. For more information,
see Remote Keyless Entry System Operation on
page 2-5.
Open the liftgate using the handle located above the
license plate. Once slightly opened, the liftgate will rise
by itself. Lamps in the rear of the vehicle will come
on, illuminating the rear cargo area. See Interior Lamps
on page 3-14.
Notice: If you open the liftgate without checking for
overhead obstructions such as a garage door,
you could break the liftgate glass. Always check to
make sure the area above the liftgate is clear
before opening it.

CAUTION:
{
It can be dangerous to drive with the liftgate
open because carbon monoxide (CO) gas can
come into your vehicle. You can't see or smell
CO. It can cause unconsciousness and even
death. If you must drive with the liftgate open
or if electrical wiring or other cable
connections must pass through the seal
between the body and the liftgate:
•
Make sure all other windows are shut.
•
Turn the fan on your heating or cooling
system to its highest speed and select the
control setting that will force outside air
into your vehicle. See Climate Control
System on page 3-21.
•
If you have air outlets on or under the
instrument panel, open them all the way.
See Engine Exhaust on page 2-43.
